Which of the following is a run-on sentence? A- while the rain was drenching at times, the fans were dedicated and refused to le
ave. B- the game will be called if the storm continues, the weather is dangerous. C- the players continue to work on both hitting and fielding, allowing them to improve both skillets. D- the game was tied at halftime; each coach gave his team a pep-talk. I think it D?! Please HELP
The correct answer is B, which is indeed a run-on sentence. There are two independent sentences. A period should be placed after the word continues, with a new sentence starting with <em>the weather</em>. The semi-colon in example D is correct, making this a solid (not a run-on) sentence.
The correct answer is B. The game will be called if the storm continues, the weather is dangerous.
A run-on sentence means that two sentences are connected in a grammatically wrong way, usually by writing a comma between them. This is sometimes wrong, as they need to be connected using a conjunction as well. So, in order to fix sentence B, you'd need to write the conjunction <em>and if </em>before <em>the weather is dangerous.</em>
Romeo first sees Juliet in Act 1 Scene 5. during the Capulet's party in which Juliet was supposed to meet Paris for the first time. Romeo's first impressions of Juliet are clearly about her beauty. He is completely taken aback by how beautiful she is. His first statement upon seeing her is "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" (A.1, s5, line 46). This tells us that he is infatuated with her beauty.
